I love her stance, her confidence, her freedom. "Yes, I'm full-figured, and that's why I'm gorgeous," she seems to say. She knows that her abundant physique confirms her as a goddess. So many women are needlessly self-conscious of their generous waists, but in Brazil they recognize that this attribute makes a woman beautiful.

I wish North and South America could do some sort of model-exchange program, so that we could be blessed with these opulent goddesses for a while and see them in our own advertising. Once American full-figured women got a taste of Mayara Russi, they would never again be satisfied with faux-plus size 10s, but would demand to be represented by models their own size and shape- by models like Mayara.

Mayara Russi and Andrea are part of a modelling group in Brazil called "Top 5," which, as far as I can tell, is a loose affiliation of five Brazilian plus-size models for the purposes of publicity.

The group has just released brief introductory videos of each model. Here's Mayara's clip. I wish I could understand a single word she says, but she looks great in a fitted red top that attractively defines her full waist.

Here's Andrea Boschim's video. She always wears such nice outfits.

Now, here's a follow-up video that's a lot of fun. It's an outtake reel showing the models making mistakes during the filming of their respective clips. Watch for several glimpses of Mayara that show off her stunning size-20 figure, and even a shot at 0:43 where she appears to be in a state of undress (!), covered only by a pillow.
